Commentary

Cf also in the same area nos. C.429, C.428 - but these must refer to a different parcel of land which both describe as the Ptol(o)maeum, for not only is the name absent here but the date is different.

Line a.4, b.5: Vespasian was trib. Pot. IIII from the 1st Jan. - 31st Dec. 73; the stone was erected therefore in the first half of 73.

Q. Paconius Agrippinus, for whom see PIR2 P 0027, was active in Cyrenaica under Vespasian, 71-74 CE: see C.147, C.428, C.429, C.430, C.438, C.747, M.68, M.165, M.229, M.230, M.232, M.238, M.239, P.397.
